The Mets held their sixth annual Pride Night at Citi Field Friday evening, and in a day and age where members of the LGBTQ+ community are being attacked and maligned at every turn, where “religious freedom” tends to be turned into a cudgel to discriminate against the community, and where even MLB teams’ Pride Nights are being turned into an opportunity to discuss people’s disagreements with “lifestyle choices,” the Mets took the opportunity to embrace queer and trans people at every turn.
Citi Field was adorned with Pride Flags, with one flying just below the American flag in the Coca-Cola corner, and others flying along the top of the stadium.
